A very little amount of information has been provided in the query. I understand that all grievances cannot be put into words but such limited information can only benefit you in having a straight-forward opinion without looking into merits of your case. Assuming the information provided by you is true and hoping nothing is concealed, I'm proceeding to give my opinion.
Since this query reveals that money which your husband demanded actually belonged to you, and not your parents, this demand cannot be termed as demand of dowry, which is a criminal offence under Indian Criminal Jurisprudence. Beside the fact that your provided information does not reveal any criminal cause of action, you may proceed filing:
1. Complaint under Domestic Violence Act against your husband and in-laws.
2. You may file an application under section 125 Cr.P.C. for maintenance for you and your child (if any).
3. You may proceed filing a petition for restitution of conjugal rights or a divorce petition.
More remedies may be available to you, but that shall only be revealed after a detailed discussion. Hope you got your issue resolved.

Dear client, you have right to file a criminal complaint of demand of dowry u/s 498a &406 of IPC, you can file another complaint of domestic violence in the court, you are a legal wedded wife so you can also file a petition of maintenance, divorce is a separate issue, but before that you do the above mentioned steps...
